How to Make Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter
It only takes 5 minutes to make this healthy breakfast recipe! Here’s how to make peanut butter overnight oats:
- Divide the oats, peanut butter, cinnamon, vanilla, maple syrup, yogurt, and milk into jars.
- Mix and add lids.
- OR (optional) make the easy chocolate topping and add to each jar.
- Add lids and store in the refrigerator overnight.

TIP: These oats will be thick, but feel free to add up to 1/4 cup more milk to thin them out if desired.
Overnight Peanut Butter Oats Variations
Peanut Butter Banana Overnight Oats – Mix in sliced bananas or add them as a topping in the morning!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats – I already have a great recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Overnight Oats, but you can also just mix in chocolate chips or add the chocolate topping for a fun twist.
Peanut Butter Jelly Overnight Oats – Add a swirl of strawberry jelly (or any flavor you want) to these oats!
How to Store Overnight Oats with Peanut Butter
I love these overnight oats jars for making and storing several batches in the fridge! To store overnight oats, make them directly in the jars and add airtight lids. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days!
Another option is to make a big batch of this recipe in a large, airtight bowl, store with an airtight lid, and simply scoop out the oats in the morning.
